Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King movie review 

😁

that part is one of the few scenes that I don't like very much about this movie

Eowyn is a total badass haha.

More like: I am not your bro, dude. And then Nazghul is like: I am not your dude, man. And then she is like: I am no Man. And he is like: I am not your... wait what?

All MRAs simultaneously got a heartattack from that scene.

Best moment ever

yep, the best part

Me too

janeyrevanescence12 I rewatched it like 3 times and kept laughing every time. Infact, I'm gonna watch it again right now! :D Edit*: Alright, I lied, I rewatched another 3 times, I need to take a Jeremy Jahns break, this guy is too funny for my own health...

I've watched that bit about five times now. I just keep rewinding. Best study break ever.

+Andrew Wang And it's funny because that ending is short compared to the book. In the book the ring is destroyed...and there's literally half book left to read

+Andrew Wang The hobbit schould have had a longer ending, there were still some scenes i would have loved to see!

+Kerzos I have no idea why they didn't touch on what happened to the shire while frodo was gone. Still a big part of the books.

+Andrew Wang i cry EVERY TIME

+Andrew Wang The movie was almost perfect in every way, every scene is amazing in return of the king

i cried during that scene...Its my favorite scene of all time

+Charlie Giffen YES

I hated how all the people behind the hobbits are on a green screen. It seemed lazy and broke my immersion in the film a bit.

+Prabhat Rayal i cry everytime i see it!

+Charlie Giffen THIS.

+Lars Zingler Do yourself a favor and try to find that speech in german. It is mostly a 1:1 translation (so, you know the words), but the pronounciation and nature of the language makes it even more intense. And I am really the opposite of biased as I 99% prefer the original version and hate most re-dubs. But that speech man... IDK, "Deeeeaaath" has some resemblense of a willhelm-scream to me. The deep "O" sound in Tod (ger. death) just makes you guts resonate!

Easily my favourite scene in the entire film, I get goosebumps everytime.

Still can't find a better battle scene especially with that pre charge speech

The german dub of the movies is pretty awesome in general and afaik Tolkien even said himself he prefered some terms in german over the english ones (especially Elves vs Elben, also "Auenland" sounds much better than "Shire" for example).

A man agrees.

Max Harrison a woman agrees

Max Harrison aquire

Tardsmat yes

Exactly! Why does no one get this ?! :D

Theres also not 3 books. Lord of the Rings is one story, just in different parts

Tolkien presented the manuscript of LOTR to the publisher as a single 3000 page or so book. The publisher rejected that instead they divided the book into three parts.

Same here

bro tay toes

what is tay toes precious?

Taters

Boil them, mash them, stick 'em in a stew.

Yeeeesss

Quite some time? FOREVER

Yeah he'll for sure

He'll be remembered for way more than just that

Only a spawn of MORRRRDORRRRRR remembers Saruman

He was also awesome as Count Dooku.

Gets me every damn time

+Kebaburrito I know that's old but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA

For SAM!!!!!!

And The Braveman SAM

...and for Sam... (he should have added)

+PatrickProductions12 This is why he is the only movie critic I actually enjoy watching. Amazing.

+PatrickProductions12 the one thing that can kill me is 7 feet over there!? Zazgul get the fuck over there!"

I think I nearly died of laughter when I first heard that.

+PatrickProductions12 I just died as well ahaha

I was, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD XD XD

that's really interesting thank you. (not being sarcastic I mean that)

I always thought Merry was the one that made it possible for Eowyn to kill the Witch King of Angmar. If Merry didn’t stab the Witch King, Eowyn couldn’t have killed him.

@@RubALamp you are right, the daggers that merry and pippin have were taken from a barrow on their journey to rivendell. These barrows were the burial sights of warriors from the ancient Kingdom of arnor, (the northern equivalent of gondor) which aragorn's ancestors ruled. The kingdom fell into ruin because they were at constant war with the witch King, who controlled angmar, a northern orc territory. The weapons in the barrow were enchanted to be effective against the nazgul, because they were created in this time.

@@davidjones272 Yes; that prophecy is constantly mistaken for a *power* , which it really is not. There *were* ways to kill the Witch King, enchantment on weapons to reach and harm the nazgûl even if they barely had a physical body in the material world. Many people seem to think (and even the Witch King made this terrible mistake, which ultimately cost him his life) that he *can't* be killed by humans, or male humans... But that is not it at all. The whole deal with the prophecy was, king Eärnur of Arnor and Glorfindel had *just* finished fending off the Witch King, and he was fleeing; Eärnur wanted to go hunt him and kill him for good, but Glorfindel caught a small glimpse of the future: "he will not fall by the hand of man". This, many people (again, even the WK himself) think means "he can't be killed", but that is literally not what he said, just that whenever he *did* get killed, it wouldn't be a man doing it. Merry stabbed the fucker with the Barrow Sword which, lo and behold, had an enchantment to momentarily make a nazgûl "corporeal" again; then Eowyn sealed the deal with the face stab; a hobbit and a woman killed him, so he didn't fall by the hand of man... In the books there is a nice bit of narration as Merry and Eowyn pass out in the ground from the nazgûl's dying power, talking about how, if the person who forged the dagger had known what end it would have come to, they would be very glad; I think that, in the movies, that is the worst consequence of removing Tom Bombadil: all the meaning of Merry's dagger is lost. Maybe they could have shoed in a scene of someone in Rivendell giving the daggers to the hobbits and explaining why they were useful?Idk

@@mordirit8727 it also known that the witch king was afraid of 2 individuals the first was king eanur of gondor who the witch king managed to ambush and kill him the 2nd one was Boromir the 1st a Stewart of gondor who ruled some 1300 before denethor and he was a total badass he had crushed the armies of mordor time and time again and he died due to the effects of an old battle wound after ruling gondor for some 78 years (if I remember correctly )

So true.

Indiana jones and the last crusade? Because there is ONLY 3!

I think the same applies to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", if you consider the "Dollars Trilogy".

Pedro Gonçalves STAR WARS and TLOTR for me

Javianimation I think "The Empire Strikes Back" was much better than "Return of the Jedi".

Agreed!

***** All three lord of the rings reviews together.

Kyle Beck Me too :D I just like to hear when Jeremy talks about movies which he love :) Its awsome.

I just did too. he's awesome

​@@kylebeck3607🎉 11:50 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂m😅😊🎉gf🎉😊😊

Froto

FOR FROTO!!!!

@@everythingisawesome2903 well... this movie was sooo grand... I watched it almost 3 days ago and I can't recover....😂😂😂 ...I'm at aww...

This. This is good.

+SWEGTA you got to watch the dark knight review that one is pretty good too

I absolutely agree, I watch them every year.

I love you Swegta. Every night I think to myself how nice it’d be to have a Bully 2. But then I realize we live in hell and are expected to buy Shark Cards for life

+LouiseJayneHudson Same for me, that's my favorite scene of anything.

I do too, EVERY TIME... Can't explain why

same here

agree

Jep, one of my favourite scenes of all time.

SAME! I've watched the LOTR trilogy about 10 times now, and every time it gets to the part when Frodo reunited with his friends had me choking up to hold back the tears. But that SPECIFIC moment when Aragorn and the world acknowledged what Frodo did releases the waterworks and it's a brutal mess of snot, tissues, and tears

TrueRomancer04 Agreed tremendously! Every single time.

Yeah, makes me wanna salute to them, and have a single tear drop from my eye, kinda like how Big Boss did in MGS3.

i just finished it and that literally made me cry

D Shav I love that seen so much. It makes me giddy every time.

+D Shav best scene. goosebummpssss never stop

I cri evrytiem

Dude, I got goosebumps JUST by reading the comment. MAN, this movie's great.

Completely agree.

Kerek Man True, although 'The Shawshank Redemption' is simply the Greatest film of all time.

Star Wars isn't a masterpiece. There are reasons why it is beloved, but those movies are a fucking mess (with the exception of Empire). Lord of the Rings is one of those rare times where the stars aligned to create a perfect masterpiece. Everything from costuming and cinematography to acting and music were all as good as they could have been.

Ehh Sci fi vs fantasy. I'm glad you enjoyed this more than star wars but you can't really compare the 2. Not to mention one is 3 decades older at a time when everything was honestly kinda new for filmography wise.

Lol " not even Star Wars " . Star wars is overrated crap , fun to watch but it's not even 50% of Lotr goodness

Outstawesometaculantastic

LOTR review = the bible of ultra-awesometacular.

it's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Fun fact:The Lord Of The Rings trilogy is the highest grossing film trilogy of all time, with only the original Star Wars trilogy at second place.

you sir have taste

+KipperBill You sir, don't *know how to spell *know*

Tristan Matheny 1. LOTR / The Shawshank Redemption 2. Citizen Kane 3. The Godfather Part II 4. The Godfather Part I 5. The Empire Strikes Back

I don't blame you dude. It really is my favorite film of all time.

Tristan Matheny films?

I’ll finish Aragorn’s line for you: “You bow to no one. We bow to you.”

i know them feels

Two towers

Martin Nguyen yeah

Martin Nguyen hell yeah man!

It’s the greatest film in cinematic history!

the deadpool im also watching this trilogy of reviews over and over again

the deadpool Why don't you watch your own movie? It's also freakin' awesome.

@@thenerdyboii6436 no its not

Its 2021 and Im still watching this trilogy over and over again

@@FilipCodes you’re a good person

LOL 14:30-14:33 best part of the whole video

Louise Hudson agree! 😊💐

did you watch the hobbit trilogy miss?

Almost cried at that scene

Not just any ringwraith, The Witch King of Angmar.

I had a problem with that scene because it's a dumb riddle. A woman with a kitchen knife could kill the witch king. It should've been the king of the dead vs witch king. That would have been really cool. "No living man can kill."

Me...it's one of my favorite things on RU-vid.

Up up down down left right left right ba boom I broke the game I cheated I won..😂😂😂😂😂

The second is the Dark knight trilogy

Elder Trolls no

angus bhattacharya um yeah

I assume you mean batman and no way

rybrentmannftw the man with no name yeh i suppose. But i think that the best Spaghetti western is Once upon a time in the west that film is just mythic.

Good list dude.

The last crusade was better than raiders

Emoji Movie is ahead of these lol

Replace Monty Python with Saving Private Ryan and Inception with Black Hawk Down

Star Wars ain't one movie bro.

+watvid1 yeah probably never

+Joe Croker while I love Harry Potter, I just don't think it can match the LOTR. The first two movies seem a little childish, the third is definitely the high point (for me) the fourth is a let down I think, fifth is good, but I don't really like how angry Harry is, the sixth is awesome and the seventh has a weak first part and a pretty badass conclusion. The LOTR is just amazing from beginning to end and even though there are more main characters and less run time (I think) the characters are better developed and I have more empathy for them. Also Harry Potter has too much dues ex machina, and yes I'm aware of the Eagles.

TRUE

indeed the best

+Royal prabhat Yep!

+strontiumXnitrate You think the room is on the same level as LOTR ROTK? haha funny

o WaKanda z he's obviously kidding, dipshit

You sir obviously are not a true fan of the lotr series, the hobbit did not deserve over 65%, it was a 300 page book dragged on over 3 2 1/2 hr movies! It was a huge letdown for most lotr fans

+EmptyShaftProductions Look, I will be one of the first people to admit that these movies have flaws: the overuse of cgi in over-the-top sets was comical at points, there was a lot of filler, and the pacing was significantly slower than it needed to be. If these movies had been condensed into one long, fast paced movie, with practical effects than it would have rivaled LotR (in my opinion). But it wasn't, and it was still dragged out over three films to milk our wallets, but I still love them anyways. Maybe it is some irrational love for anything Tolkien regardless of it's quality. I don't know, all I know is that I was able to enjoy and love these movies more than most. (and I'm sorry, but this really bugs me, and I'm not trying to sound mad) What is with this "real fan" nonsense? Do I have to criticize people who like the Hobbit movies and criticize people who don't like LotR to be a "real fan"? Do I have to accuse someone of being idiotic or "fake" just because they liked movies that I didn't? If anything, you should be happy that someone was able to enjoy these movies that you deem as disappointments.

+EmptyShaftProductions Also, it was a disappointment initially for me, initially I did not like the first Hobbit movie so much so that I refused to watch the second, and had to be dragged to the third. But I ended up liking the third movie a lot, so much so that I was inspired to watch LotR for the first time. After that, I re-wached the hobbit movies and i liked them more, for me, they got better every time I watched them, same as LotR. And let me be clear, I do not think that the hobbit movies are as good as LotR, but I do love them just the same.

An Unexpected Journey - 6/10 The Desolation of Smaug - 6/10 The Battle of the Five Armies - 5/10 - 5.7/10 overall The Fellowship of the Ring - 10/10 The Two Towers - 9/10 The Return of the King - 10/10 - 9.7/10 overall.

+Clayton Krumm An Unexpected Journey - 75% The Desolation of Smaug - 68% The Battle of the Five Armies - 51% The Fellowship of the Ring - 95% The Two Towers - 90% The Return of the King - 99% Overall - 85%

You're gonna get so much hate for that comment. Just letting you.

I just.. I just can't even believe what I just read... Is this hell?

No it's just sarcasm ;)

MudgateBronn Should've added a Twilight movie for maximum effect :)

the sarcasm is strong with this one.

I laughed so hard I got light headed and could not breath

hahaa me too :D

priceless indeed :-)

NAAAZGUUUL GET THE FFFFFUCK OVER THEEERE

watched that scene so many times... still funny.

True dat!!

Tarek Chamas I was trying not to succeded but almost

how. Is it when he says for frodo

Dark night?

Alex Turlais That movie is overrated beyond belief. ROTK blows it out of the water.

link biff avengers?

Alex Turlais Still overrated. All LOTR flicks have deep character development, symbolism, chemistry, meaning...all of which Avengers either does not have or have little of. I did like The Avengers. Far better than Dark Knight, but not quite at the LOTR levels.

link biff true, but i enjoyed all 3 films.

I'most not trying to offend your opinion, but all those movies are really bad

He's trolling

Know way a human being could say that. TROLL?

Put on your methrill...we got a troll to slay

Yeah, uh, I know Jeremy said that there aren't really wrong answers here, but, um, that's the wrong answer. 😐

Beautifully balanced treatment of feminism and the shield-maiden.

Marvel should take notes, but they won’t

@Derp Inshmurtz No he means what the director, cast and whole crew all managed to pull off.

Sam also sailed for the same reason

The Dark Knight should be there imo.

The Dark Knight is somewhere in the top 20.

Good list

HAHA! Yeah, that was totally awesome!

They have internet in the Undying Lands? Huh...

I see you

Sauron IT IS NOT THIS DAY.

Sauron get the fuck away from me

***** You cannot hide

Whiplash is so good. My favourite movie of all time is Django: Unchained

shit tolkein fought in the somme? that explains alot

Ayden Woodruff Yeah. Most of his closest friends from school and uni were killed in the war. He would probably have died there himself had he not been hospitalised with trench fever, as his entire regiment suffered hideous losses, some nearly wiped out including his own. You can kind of see where he's coming from with his themes of Saruman's machines of war tearing up green countryside and ruining everything.

Frodo gets to go to the undying lands and Sam gets hottest bae in the shire. I think middle-earth has awarded them properly.

*Ark

Star Wars is a saga not a trilogy

He's talking about the original trilogy, meaning that he likes it but not the prequels

Now that's a list

the prequel right ?

Yeah it's one of the things I prefer that the movie did and the book did, its much better version in the movie because the Scouring of the shire just didn't feel necessary to me in the book.

Which star wars trilogy? Stupid question, but still.

It's ok! The original of course :-) IV, V, and VI.

I would switch Lotr with SW If it was me.

star wars above lotr? you blind, deaf, or all of the above?

Actually, Tolkien himself did toy with the idea of pairing Eowyn with Aragorn as his queen at the end of the story, but decided to pair him with Arwen to out of homage to his earlier Tale of Beren and Luthien of the Silmarillion stories (the nearest and dearest to Tolkien), creating a theme of parallel lives and retroactively writing their romantic involvement in the appendices.

you sir, sound very fell informed. Thanks for the info, glad I'm not alone on this!

You're not alone. I actually felt Eowyn was a much better character than Arwen. She had a much stronger and less bland personality than Arwen. Personally, I found it kinda stupid that Eowyn went with Faramir in the end. As much as I like Faramir, I felt like it was too forced.

Basil AlSubee Many people feel like you do simply because Eowyn got some kick-ass scenes. And this was the point of many of Tolkien's characters. You don't have to wield a sword to be strong. Frodo and Sam were the story's strongest characters, and for the most part, neither of them fought with weapons. Similarly, Arwen is a strong woman because she never gives up faith or hope. Not because she holds a sword. No matter how bleak or bad shit gets, she always finds a reason to fight. Now, I understand when people say that they wanted Eowyn to end up with Aragorn. That's because during the trilogy, Eowyn got more screen time. However, I love that Aragorn ended up with Arwen because it's a great example of a true and constant love. I mean, Aragorn had loved Arwen for 70+ years, and vice versa. Even though he met a beautiful strong woman whom he could have totally fallen for, he remained constant. And I love how Tolkien shows that it isn't just sparked feelings which show true love. What Eowyn had for Aragorn was a crush, brought on by admiration. Obviously, her feelings were just a spark, but not a constant flame. I'm getting cheesy now, so I'll stop.

Also, The Lion King. The first one is brilliant, the second one is the only Disney direct-to-video sequel that I like. 1 1/2 serves it purpose as a kids' movie, and it had some catchy songs.

I don't understand this statement "Indiana Jones is no longer a trilogy." There are only three movies in that franchise. Only three I say!
